Understanding Demand: Why Childcare Needs Assessment & Modelling Is Crucial for Success
When planning a new childcare centre – or expanding an existing one – success starts with understanding your market. At Mollard Property Group, our specialisation in Childcare Needs Assessment & Modelling helps you to make confident, data-informed decisions from day one.
Why a Needs Assessment Matters
Many childcare projects fall short because assumptions were made without research. Before investing in land, building design, or marketing, it’s vital to know if there’s genuine demand for your service in the area. By conducting a thorough needs assessment, you are eliminating the guesswork and safeguarding your investment.
Our modelling helps you understand:
- How many childcare places are needed in a particular area
- What type of service is most in demand (long day care, occasional care, etc.)
- What competitors already exist, and what their occupancy looks like
- Population trends and future growth projections
- How your centre can be positioned for long-term sustainability
Informed Decisions, Stronger Outcomes
Whether you’re a developer, investor, or operator, this service provides the resources you need to:
- Determine if a site is viable for childcare
- Secure funding or stakeholder buy-in
- Inform your centre’s size, design, and service model
- Ensure long-term demand aligns with your business goals
We don’t just crunch the numbers – we apply sector expertise and real-world insight to deliver recommendations you can trust.
